Indigo is a rich deep blue that, as a dye, originally came from tropical plants in the Indian subcontinent. Lapis lazuli and azurite gemstones also naturally show this intense hue; in fact, both lapis and azurite were ground into pigment for use in paints. Azurite is a softer, uncommon mineral forming in copper rich ores that is often found with malachite or chrysocholla. Many azurite beads are assembled and stabilized with resin, such as these, for economy and strength. Turquoise also forms in copper rich ores and is generally stabilized for strength. These 22" and 24" necklaces can be worn together or separately for a terrific addition of indigo to a wardrobe. The turquoise and lapis rondelle necklace can also be worn as a multi-wrap bracelet. Sterling silver toggle clasps.
